Description Paul Sommer 2016-04-26 09:49:36 UTC

When I play a song with already retrieved lyrics the lyrics are shown only to be deleted after a couple of seconds. Then the plugin tries to load the lyrics new (and often it fails leaving me with an empty lyrics box)
This error doesn't happen all the time. I haven't found a systematics for this behaviour yet. It also deletes lyrics that has been entered manually.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Play a song with existing lyrics
2. See the lyrics displayed
3. See the lyrics disappearing and being loaded anew after some seconds (if you are lucky)
4. See an empty lyrics box when the plugin cannot find the lyrics (e.g. because thy have been entered manually)


Expected Results:  
- Don't load the lyrics if lyrics are already there.
- Don't touch the lyrics box at all unless you have "something to say". 
- Don't delete existing (and possibly user generated) content when you have nothing to replace it with? That's extremely stupid.

If you say "Ultimate Lyrics" do you mean you are using a script for that? In that case I strongly suggest you send this report to the script author, we do not handle third-party script bugs through this platform. If you go to the Amarok settings  menu -> Configure Amarok - > Scripts and click on the Info button, then on the "Author" tab, you can find the mail addresses of the script authors and can contact them directly.

I already did as you advised. I went to the "Authors" page of the Ultimate Lyrics plugin and it states:
"Bitte verwenden Sie http://bugs.kde.org zum Berichten von Fehlern oder Wünschen"
"Please use http://bugs.kde.org to submit bugs or wishes"
The Author is Vladimir Brkic.

What am I supposed to do now?

Well, this linking to bugs.kde.org was not added by us, as we really do not maintain those scripts, please contact the author.

Closing correctly.
